It's Monday! What Are You Reading? - June 1

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.

Welcome to the first Monday in June. It sure is a crazy time in our world. The pandemic, riots, states trying to re-open their businesses...

Sure makes one want to hide under a rock for a while and come out when things are better.

After a tense month and a half, we are focusing on being kind to ourselves. This week will be a busy one, but I have some writing to accomplish and maybe a bit of editing. Oh, and some reading to catch up on.

I reviewed this one last week. You can find the review here. I felt disappointed when the publisher stopped sending me books from this series (this book was the last one I had), but in fairness to them I wasn't returning reviews fast enough. I'm now six books behind. Yikes!

I opted to switch to Karen White this week because I have all the books in the Tradd Street series and I want to catch up.

Then comes these two.

I need to consider which books I'll bring with me to North Carolina at the end of the month. Maybe I'll contemplate that next week. 

What genres do you like to take on vacation? How do you pack them? Do you bring printed and e-books?

Hello from the Outer Banks. The weather has been a bit wet the past two days, but my philosophy is always that a rainy day at the beach is still better than a sunny day at home. Theo thinks so too. He loves the beach. Not a huge fan of the water, though.

I haven't read as much as expected. I'm still working, which is part of it, but just haven't found a book I must read cover to cover yet. 

Finished this one and need to post a review at TC&TBC. 

I am reading these two right now:

This first one is slow going. Right before I started it, I discovered it is part of a trilogy. That might have a bit to do with why I'm not thrilled. 

This was supposed to be my first read of the year, but I had to put it aside to stay up on reviews. I'm about 30 pages in. It's hard to imagine Marilla as a young woman, but I bet I'll enjoy this one.

I read the preface, but haven't gone further with this one. I also read some of the workbook I bought to go with it.

I'll probably read these two next.

What are you reading right now?
